Taking out trim in trunk/maybe good time to install Naviks?
Hi All;
I need to clean the carpet in my trunk. Have spilled automotive fluids on numerous occasions.
The best way to do that is to disassemble each trim item and clean individually. I also have a back up sensor, so I will need to find a hole to fish the wire into the cabin, so I have to remove the trim anyways for the install.
It just occurred to me that I'll need to take apart the trunk when/if I decide to install the Naviks? So maybe this is a good excuse to go ahead and buy Naviks?
Also, do you know what fasteners are used in the trunk? I lost a couple and my trim pieces are not firmly secured..
I purchased two from the dealer, he asked me the color.
It might be a good idea to give the parts guy a shout and he might be able to give you a part number.

There are different types of fasteners used but all are expensive when purchased individually since you have to add shipping/handling (usually more than the part itself). If you post a pix of what you are looking for, I bet I might have a couple to send you gratis.

i had negative experience with naviks twice, no support no website, if you want good stuff go with navtool , they have it on sale now and it made in USA ever since i installed it im a happy camper http://www.navtool.com/LexusSC_02-10.aspx
that's back-up camera interface, i have connected dvd and iPhone, and i just ordered a new version that has built in smart phone mirroring, so now i will have my iphone on my screen
I understand the beatsonic is a way overpriced $400 but it is a plug and play harness for installing a better head unit. What exactly are you tiring to do here with the nav/dvd player? I would like to get music from my phone on the stereo but so far I am just getting by with the $20 Monster tape thing.
It may not help much but the carid.com people sold me one for $348, shipped.
for $350 you can get navtool with built in smartphone mirroring interface
That sounds great! I am installing a new head unit, will I still have the steering wheel controls along with the stock GPS?
If so, I am going to cancel the beat sonic and purchase what you are recommending. The beat sonic unit is very expensive and I went with it because I was lead to believe it was the only choice.
I sure am glad you provided me with this info!!! Thanks!
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the Navtool only does backup camera and DVD interface. It's doesn't interface your head unit with the existing system like the Beatsonic, right?
